Notes from our Igluski Experts

"This tremendously well located chalet hotel offers some of the best value accommodation on offer in this prestigious resort. You can ski to and from a run forty metres from the chalet in the centre of Courchevel 1850. After a hard day's skiing in the world’s largest interconnected skiing area, enjoy a five course evening meal cooked by a professional chef. "

Chalet Hotel Coq de Bruyere - Courchevel 1850, France

La Croisette is the lively epicentre of 1850 next to the World Cup slalom stadium, where all the main ski-lifts start, the ski-school meets, and skiers throng to the après ski bars.The recognised absolute best place to stay. From here, you have a choice of bars, restaurants and everything that 1850 has to offer conveniently close at hand. On top of that, there is supremely easy access to the slopes, with the Loze piste literally just metres away.

The open-plan lounge and bar area was refurnished last year and with its open fireplace, is the ideal place to enjoy a pre- or post-dinner drink in the evenings. There is also a small separate DVD lounge or ‘snug’, providing additional space to relax, so don’t forget a few DVD’s.

The attractive dining-room opens off the bar, and provides the ideal setting for our skiers’ buffet breakfast and ‘Culinary Choice’ evening meals. All the bedrooms have private en suite facilities, with a choice of showers or baths and wc, and many also have a balcony. The third bed in the triple rooms is suitable only for a child under 13 years.

Meals- Chalet Hotel Coq de Bruyere, Courchevel 1850

We set very high standards for our cuisine, and train our staff extensively before the season starts, to ensure that you will thoroughly enjoy every meal on your own holiday with us. We also take our Health and Safety responsibilities extremely seriously, so all our chalet and Chalet Hotel staff during the pre-season training course are trained to the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health’s Level 2 in Food Safety*. For six days of the week our staff prepare all your meals, as described below.

BreakfastA good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff’s one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.

Afternoon TeaThe traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet or Chalet Hotel, ready for your return, every day except on the staff’s one day off per week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake and keeps hungry skiers happy until dinner is ready. As an added benefit for guests in our Chalet Hotels, our chefs prepare a selection of cakes for afternoon tea.

Children’s High Tea in Chalet HotelsFamilies staying in one of our Chalet Hotels may choose to eat separately (High Tea at 5:30pm) or all dine together at the later adult dinner time if children who have received a child discount pay the meal upgrade charge of £39 at the time of booking only

Culinary Choice Dinners in Chalet HotelsA special feature of our Chalet Hotels is a more extensive culinary experience for our guests. With the greater kitchen facilities of a hotel, our professional chefs are able to offer choices of menu at dinner freshly prepared for you six nights per week, generally including lighter as well as more hearty options, and always a vegetarian choice for each course. Guests will be asked to choose their evening meals at breakfast for that evening from a varied daily selection. Our Chalet Hotel adult-only dinners offer 5 courses for six nights per week, starting with canapés and an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert, and a cheese selection to round off your meal in style. All this is then followed by coffee with chocolates to complete your evening’s repast! Your choice of complimentary quality wines is unlimited during the meal service and freshly chilled water is also of course always available.

Chalet Hotel Coq de Bruyere Reviews

We booked very last minute - only 4 days ahead of our travel day and for a really good price, therefore we did not have high expectations. The room was quite small and basic but adequate. However, the staff and food more than made up for this. The location of the hotel is also fantastic right in the resort centre and with slopes a couple of minutes walk in either direction. The catering was incredible - we've never had such choice before and quantity. In fact if anything it was at times too much, as after afternoon tea, then canapes, then three courses, we were sad not to be able to manage with cheese or truffles! Perhaps a small portion option could be offered?!
Our thanks to all the friendly team - Carl, Hayley, Georgia and Sean, there were many others but too many names to remember.

Review 11/09/2008

I stayed at the Coq de Bruyere in the first week of the season and had a great time. The staff were very friendly and the food was fantastic. Location can't really be beaten especially for the price we paid. You literally only have a minute's walk to get to the main piste and close to bars and restaurants. Had a great time!
